i'm a bit confused and need some help... lesson 7: polynomials and properties of exponents unit test, unit 6.
4. what are the coefficients in the polynomial 7x^2-4x+6?
Disagree. 7 and 4 are coefficients.
Well, well, well, ready for some polynomial fun, are we? Alright, let's break it down step by step.
In the polynomial 7x^2 - 4x + 6, coefficients are the numbers that are multiplied by the variables. So, the coefficients in this case are 7, -4, and 6. Or, as I like to call them, the "numbers that hang out with the variable."
Remember, coefficients are the true friends of variables. They support them, make them look good, and help them solve all their mathematical problems. Just like how I dress up as a clown to make people laugh and feel better. See, numbers can be supportive too!
To find the coefficients in the polynomial 7x^2 - 4x + 6, we need to determine the numerical values of each term without the variable "x."
The coefficients are the numbers that are multiplied by the variables in each term. In this polynomial:
- The term 7x^2 has a coefficient of 7 (there is no explicit number multiplied by the variable "x^2," so we assume it is 1).
- The term -4x has a coefficient of -4.
- The constant term 6 has a coefficient of 6 (there is no variable multiplied here).
Therefore, the coefficients in the given polynomial are 7, -4, and 6.
2 is an exponent.
the coefficients are 7 and 2
